Sony Alpha NEX-7
Reviews: Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com) &bull Dec 13, 2011
When Sony first introduced its range of mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras in May 2010, the company was very clear about who it thought would buy the NEX-5 and its near-identical-twin NEX-3. Small cameras with APS-C sensors, we were told, would appeal to compact camera users who wanted to upgrade but would be intimidated by the bulk and perceived complexity of an SLR. The cameras were a sales success (especially in Japan), and their influence on this sector of the market has become increasingly clear, with Olympus's PEN E-PL3 paying extensive homage to their… Full Story »

Leica Announces V-Lux 3 superzoom
News: Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com) &bull Dec 8, 2011
Leica has announced the V-Lux 3, a 24x superzoom with 12.1MP CMOS sensor. The camera has a 4.5 - 108mm F2.8-5.2 image stabilized lens, equivalent to 25-600mm in 35mm film terms. The camera is also capable of 1080p60 video capture with stereo sound and 12fps shooting at full resolution. Unlike the otherwise similar Panasonic DMC-FZ150, the Leica comes with both Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements. It will be available from January 2012. We've been using a production V-Lux 3 for a few days and have prepared a samples gallery that will be published shortly. Solms, Germany (December 8, 2011) -… Full Story »

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 (silver, with 14-42mm lens)
CNET Reviews - Most Recent Digital Cameras &bull Dec 7, 2011
The good:Fast performance and excellent raw photo quality, combined with Panasonic's veteran touch-screen/direct-control hybrid interface, make the Lumix DMC-GX1 a strong ILC choice. The bad:The new X-series PZ kit lens could use some design tweaks, and Panasonic's JPEG processing, though much better than before, could still use a little work. The bottom line:A well-designed camera with an interface that creative photographers can customize to their liking, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 deserves serious consideration if you're looking for a modestly compact interchangeable-lens model. I happen to like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 for what it is: a model that delivers the photo… Full Story »

17 November, 2011 - Panasonic GX1 First Impressions
The Luminous Landscape - What's New &bull Nov 17, 2011
Panasonic will start shipping its new Lumix GX1 shortly. I had an opportunity to work for a week with a GX1 and two of the new X series lenses. My GX1 First Impressions report is now online. Your complicity with Jeff Schewe makes viewing more enjoyable than a film, and the quantity of information you manage to convey is truly wonderful. Are you nostalgic for film? Does the look of Adox 25 make your heart flutter. Does Velvia bring to mind the great green outdoors? Are you pissed 'cause mama took your Kodachrome away? Lenses currently available for Sony's NEX-5n… Full Story »
